Question
Chapter 25, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The evidence that supports the idea that life originated through an inanimate chemical process.
Introduction:
According to the Oparin–Haldane theory, Earth’s prehistoric atmosphere was completely different from its current atmosphere. The prehistoric Earth’s atmosphere enabled numerous reduction reactions that led to the production of a large number of organic molecules.

- Describe the hierarchical organization of life. How does this organization lead to the emergence of new properties at different levels of biological complexity?arrow_forwardOne of the simplest definitions of a life-form is anything with the capacity to reproduce and regulate itself. Before life began, the complex organic, or hydrocarbon-bearing, molecules that makeup RNA and DNA, the building blocks of life, must have formed. No one knows exactly how life is formed from these molecules, but many ideas have been put forward. As you enter this area, go toward the large video screen on the right and explore the “Life at the hydrothermal Vents” label deck. Some scientists theorize that life begins at deep-sea vents. Find three lines of evidence to support this claim.arrow_forwardWhen energy is transferred from one organism to another, some energy is lost to the environment due primarily to ____ ? A.)reproduction B.)growth C.)the release of heat D.)the transmission of DNAarrow_forward
- Why is intelligent design (ID) a flawed argument? Select the statement that is FALSE. There is no way through experiments or observations to falsify the hypothesis of an Intelligent Designer. ID assumes that each molecular machinery is built from scratch, which is not true; existing proteins are often re-used. OID and evolution are both valid hypotheses, but over the years we have found more evidence pointing toward evolution. O ID assumes that systems are irreducibly complex, and that individual components cannot be removed, even though several examples exist of 'irreducibly complex' systems being reduced. en 0 3 $ 35 % ^ 6 18 & * 8 9 44 Indoor Playground with wheelsarrow_forwardWhy are information transmission, energy transfer, and evolution considered basic to life?arrow_forwardWhich of the following steps has not yet been accomplished byscientists studying the origin of life?(A) synthesis of small RNA polymers by ribozymes(B) formation of molecular aggregates with selectivelypermeable membranes(C) formation of protocells that use DNA to direct thepolymerization of amino acids(D) abiotic synthesis of organic moleculesarrow_forward
- Cite evidence demonstrating that all living organisms are related, yet unique.arrow_forwardThe following is a synthesis sequence or progression that is a hypothesis for Chemical evolution: elements, ionic and covalent bonding to form simple molecules, these simple molecules form simple organic monomers, the monomers undergo dehydration synthesis to form bio polymers, formation of micelles (Pre cells). This concept a) can only be observed in living cells, b) is a theory that proves that life could not evolve on other planets. c) is a hypothetical model that can be confirmed in the laboratory, d) is a hypothesis that has no supporting evidence from rocks that predate the presence of cells in the fossil record. e) These are all true.arrow_forwardSelect the true statements from the following regarding the evolutionary theories that are thought to have combined to give rise to life on earth. Reproduction is required for both chemical and biological evolution. Both chemical and biological evolution are defined by change over time. Purpose of Miller-Urey experiment was to answer the question: can chemistry give rise to complex molecules required for life? The Miller-Urey experiment showed that chemistry can give rise to the molecules required for evolution of life.arrow_forward
- Describe the experimental evidence that demonstrates that living organisms come from other living organisms.?arrow_forwardA scientist discovered a new group of unicellular organisms that lack mitochondria but possess an organelle related to the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in energy production. The scientist hypothesizes that this organelle might be a missing link in the evolution of mitochondria. A) Do you agree with this hypothesis? Explain. B) Based on the available evidence, what is the most likely hypothesis for the origin of mitochondria? Provide four pieces of evidence to support this theory and justify why they are valid.arrow_forwardWhich of the following was the least likely objective of the Urey-Miller experiment? Group of answer choices To demonstrate that oxygen can be produced by plants. To recreate the conditions of the Earth before life existed and produce the molecules necessary for life from primordial inorganic matter (water, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide). To build a case (though not necessarily prove) that life can originate from nonliving matter through natural means. To demonstrate that organic molecules like amino acids (building blocks of protein) and nucleotide bases (building blocks of DNA) do not necessarily originate only from living matter. To demonstrate that lightning may have been the essential energy source (early in Earth's evolution) in the production of molecules essential for life.arrow_forward
